The ladies of Stanton Relief Corps
gave parting entertainment and ball
to the G. A. R. and the friends of its
members at Armory Hall last evening
AS was to have been expected the hall
was filled almost to its utmost capac-
ity, and those present experienced a
most enjoyable evening. The first
part of the evening was devoted to a
musical variety which was sufficiently
enticing to make the dances which
followed the more enjoyable. The
musical programme was as follows :
Grand selection, Bohemian Girl, y
Balfe; cof1,et solo, ''Naukeag Polka, "
(J. 0. Casey,) c. Connor; overture,
"Rival" (Pette); saxaphone solo,
"The Tyrolienne' U. Fouse), H. G..
Alger; waltz, "Vision of Paradise"
&C. w. Bennett; bass solo, Happy
Thought Fantastic q. Baseler), M.
Knoll; selection, "Dude's March"
Jos. Clauder.)
As soon as this had been concluded
the hall was cleared and dancing COM
menced, and continued until about
midnight, with L. H. Whitson as floor
manager and A. NJ. Thornton, NJ. r.
Vernon and L. L. Dennick as assist
ants. Refreshments were served in
the ante.rooms between dances, and
there was no one present who did not
say, "God speed thee on thy way.
with safe return to thy loved ones, "
as the departing comrades left the
hall

"where yonder dancing billows dip
Far off to oceans misty verge,
Plows Evening, like a full-sailed ship,
Adown the cloudy surge.
With spray of rufiied gold before
The scarlet fire that round her dies,
She sails across the drowsy shore,
Along the darkening skies.

In emerald cradles, rocked and swung,
The scepter of the sea is mine,
And mine his endless song"

Upenlng.1or Our Boys.

In glancing over the possible openings
for boys, one is forced to admit that un-
less lad had genius perseverance, and a
good, physical constitution, he will find
the beginning of professional life al
most insurmOuntably difficult, if he be
obliged from the start to depend upon his
profession for living. So large is the
competition, even in our own compare
lively new country, and still more so in
England and on the continent that the in
ducements to enter the so-called learned
professions are financially very small
Each year, thousands of young men are
graduated from our universities and
schools of learning, only verv small pro
portion of whom are ever heard of after
ward in the real contest of life And it
has become notable fact that an adver-
tisement for a man to fill any but a man
uaI position will bring a number of col
lege graduates out of ali proportion to the
total app icants.-Sc: entific American,

Mistakes Concerning Hindu Religion.

1t is rather sad to perceive how COM
pletely some European observers mistake
and misinterprat the Indian people on the
question Of their religion. They style
them "idolators' lgine that Hindus
attribute divine qualities TO the uncOuth
figures, the red stones, the hngams,
carved snakes. and grim Bhowanis which
5hey worship. Because they fad Mahad 60
adored in one place, Gunpati il another,
Kali elsewhere, and trees, rivers, and
cows objects of prayer, they suppose the
Hindus, one and all, pOlytheists.
Yet it would be almost as unjust to
ascribe pOlytheism to Londoners because
one church is dedicated to ST. Matthew,
another to the Holy Trinity, third to
the st. Bridget. All these various gois
and sacred objects are for the educated
Indian mere "aids to faith" manifesto
tions-more or less appropriate and ele-
vated-of the aL-pervading and undi
vided Para Brahm. Even the poor peas
ant of the fields, and the gentle Hindu
wife, perambulating peepuL tree
smeared with red, will tell you that the
symbol they reverence is only symbol.
There is hardly one of them so ignorant
as not to know that commonplace of
Vedantism every prayer which is ut
tered finds its way to the ear of Keshava."

His First French Kiss.

The almost universal custom of kissing in
Paris seems at first singular to a stranger
coming from a country where the prophecies
of life rarely permit you to take a ladys
hand, much less to salute her. In France, to
kiss lady with whom you are not intimate
on meeting her is very common; especially is
this the case if she is a married lady. Not
only the members of the family, but all tho
guests, expect invariably to salute the lady
of the house on coming down III the morning
But though the modest American may per-
hapS, escape the ceremony on ordinary oc-
casions, yet on the New Years morning it
is imperative. On that morning I came
down to my breakfast about o O'clock.
Il sat down quietly, bidding madam bon
jour, as on ordinary occasions. In a few
moments she was at my elbow with:
Monsieur, am angry with you
II expressed, of course, regret and iS-
norance of having given her any reason.
'Ah,' said she. you know very well tho
reason. 1t is because you did not embrace
me this morning when you came DOWN
MADAM was a lady Of perhaps IS, with jot
black, glossy hair, and clear, fair COM
plexion. She was very beautiful; had she
been plain l should have felt less embar-
raised. She waited as though expecting me
to atone for my neglect; but how could [ hc-
fore the whole table! [ sat all this tine
trembling in my seat At length MADAM
said;
Monsieur, embrassez moi
"Fhe worst had come. l arose trembling,
put my white, bloodless lips all greasy with
butter and wet with coffee for in my embsr-
rassment had dropped my napkin), to tho5e
of madam. This was my first French kiss"

A Thrust at Rurdette.

Robert Burdette, general humorist and
good fellow generally, doesn't seem to
know much abont country life. He tells
OF city man who went to have a quiet
time IN the country and "Nho was taught
harvesting the first day, sheep washing
and shearing the next, and fence building
and wood chopping the third. Now Rob
ert, you ought to know that sheep are not
washed and sheared the same day and,
that anyhow sheep shearing blooms in
the spring, ira Ia, and not in harvest
time, and that the family firewood is cut
IN the winter, and that the wild whirI of
fence building is never INDUCED in even
by the most dissipated of farmers while
the harvest is ripe. Go to-Robert, go to

HOW CIGARS ARE MADE.
Making Up the Cheering Weed by Hand
and by DIachine-The Grades.

Making Up the Cheering Weed by Hand
and by Machine-The Grades.
The finest grade of tobacco comes from
Havana and is used for what is called filling.
The wrapper used mostly throughout the
Union is the Sumatra leaf, and is the hand
soonest and best in use. In the first place. all
tobacco is moistened with water, and left
standing between twenty-fOur and forty
eight hours, according to the texture of the
tobacco 1t is then stripped that is the stem
is taken out, and the leaf opened and spread
between two boards for the purpose of keep
ing it open, and of giving it a fiat surface
In this stage the leaf is dried and worked into
cigars as filters. The greatest precautiOn is
always taken that the filler be perfectly
dry or it cannot be smoked and, therefore,
the cigar would not fulfill its purpose in the
least.
Cigars are rolled on fiat stones by dcft
motion quite indescribable to those who have
not seen it. The rolling is but the work of
an instant. The tobacco is laid on the stone,
the practiced fingers touch it-one minute
more and there is a cigar of perfect proper
tions, which is rapidly passed along to the
next man, who ships off the pointed end with
a small cutting machine made for the pur-
pose, after which it is passed to another man,
who ties it up into bundle with many others
of its kind.
AS a-rule, the inside wrapper, called the
binder of cigar, is composed of either Con
necticut OF Wisconsin tobacco, which, Oh ac-
count of its being very thin and fimsy, and
having little taste, does not in the least mar
the taste of the Havana filler. Although
there are great many cigars made without
binders, still, as a rule the cigars supposed to
be made without them are nearly all binders.
After the filler is inclOsed in the binder it is
termed i'll the trade "bunch;' the outside
binder is then cut, rolled and finished, which
completes the process of making what are
known as handmade cigars"
Cigars are also made in molds in blocks of
twenty forms, or shapes, of cigars These
blocks are groOved in the exact shape of the
cigar when finished. "Bunches" are made by
hand and placed in these grooves, after which
a cover, fitting the mold exactly, is placed
over it like cover, and is heavy enough
to act as press upon the cigar under it.
In cheap work 800 punches are prepared at
once, inferior cigars being made this way for
the reason that they can be made so much
cheaper and faster. These are naturally not
as good as the handmade cigars, as machine
making somehow spoils the flavor of the to-
bacco They are more shapely than the
handmade cigars and look better, but, it is
said, do not taste so weIl.-Denver Tribune

AFTER MARRIAGE.

The spacious room seems bare
And drear beyond compare,
A man with sparse gray hair
Sits grim and lonely,
Brooding on sin and shame,
His smirched and ruined name.
Which was the most to blaInel
He? or she onlyl
When June and Winter wed
They shoe Times steeds with lead;
Small wonder that she fed
To love and laughter,
To LIES full swirl and stir,
Though years must bldng to her
Even bitterer,
More sordid, -"After."
Only the stage-worn play!
Light Love will have its way,
Its own mad course, nor stay
For name nor station.
A woman rashIy bought,
Ambition coldly sought,
Passion and Greed-have wrought
This desolation.

From the st. Louis Republican, last week.
Congressman Jno. E. Hutton re-
turned from Washington a few days
ago, and if not misrepresented he
will devote himself to maintaining his
popularity in the Seventh district.
The political gossips of the district
report that Green Clay, popular
farmer residing near Audrain, is am
bilious just now to be Congressman
and that Congressman Hutton, who
is not slated for denomination, will
have deal to say whether be shall
realize his ambition. 1t is claimed
that Congressman Hutton promised
the ambitious in the last contest that
he woul not hea candidate again, and
on that report some of the other coun-
ties of the district have expected to
furnish his successor. Now that Au-
drain county comes to the front again
with Farmer Clay, one of the strong
est men in the district, the situation
becomes interesting. Some of the
workers in eastern part of the district
says if no candidate developes enough
strength to defeat Farmer Clay the op-
position to his section furnishing the
next man will renominate Congress
man Hutton. Senator Dave 4. Ball of
Pike county is counted as one of the
most enthusiastic Hutton men.

How It Worked IN Kansas.

From the Brunswick BrunsWlcker.
We are in receipt of letter from
A. j. Cuddy, one of the most re-
spectacle of the citizens of our county,
who now is living in Kingman, Kansas,
concerning the working of prohibition
in that city.
Mr.. I. Fl. Kinlev.-I see the
Courier is abusing you for opposing
local option. You are right. He
says Kansas has that law--so she has
and l wish you we're here to see In
work. You would see more whisky
and beer sold in one day IN Kingman
than you will see in your town IN
week. You can find beer in livery
stables and lunch rooms, and the
drug stores keep two men, one to sell
whisky and one to sell beer. l wish
you were here one day to see it work
I saw q letter from man in Larned'
some time ago, that the Courier harp
ed On a good deal. You folks can
vote it if you want to, but you will
want to get rid of it in less than one
year. You can find here men with il
in their pockets, and every way II
the world to sell. The town charges
$50 per month to sell and they gel
into some hole or corner and &C
ahead. A man told me to-day tha'
he had sold S75 worth day in King
man and could sell $50 worth any
day and not think he had done mucf
then. have seen all l tell you II
this and then don't tell you half.
